Welcome to our Senior Dog Blog

This blog is dedicated to all the dogs out there that have a few great years under their fur! The dog who has seen you mature, seen you through hard times, seen you laugh and cry or may have been there through a relationship or two. The "old faithful" guy or girl in your life that you know would always be waiting for you to come home with open paws! The one who is always happy to see you and can't wait to get your love and attention but would always give you so much more in return. We know, in our hearts, that even without a spoken word, this dog has helped us through many hard times and has been there to rejoice in our good times. We thank you for always being there and for somehow just always knowing what we need to make us feel better.

Here's hoping, that through this blog, we can give back at least a portion of the joy that they have brought to our lives over the many years.

The Doggy Zen Den was founded after years of working with dogs both in Canada and the U.S. I was driven from a young age by my compassion for animals and as I grew older I sought to provide a service to animals that would encompass personal touch, love and health benefits. I teach seminars & workshops to dozens of dog owners. While my practice is inclusive of all dogs, I have focused a majority of my efforts on working with senior and shelter dogs. I received my canine massage training from Midwest Natural Healing and have attended certification courses in Bach Flower Remedies, Pet First Aid and Canine Behavior. I currently run 2 blogs. I’ve registered over 400 hours of hands on experience working with dogs in a massage and stretching capacity and service clients from Oshawa to Burlington. I am also a certified Animal Reiki Practitioner. I was recently asked to become a resident Practitioner at Cherry Valley Retreat (http://cherryvalleyretreat.com/) and will be hosting a series of workshops on Holistic Stress & Anxiety Relief Methods for Dogs.

Bottled or Tap?

Not many of us drink tap water anymore. We either drink Spring or filtered water. Well then, so should our dogs, right?


Some holistic practitioners recommend distilled water; others consider it to be striped of the energy found in spring water.

If your budget precludes you from serving spring water to your dog, use a filter on your tap to try and screen out as many impurities and contaminants as possible. Filters are becoming cheaper and cheaper. Check out this site for a comparison and price breakdown.

Once you change from tap, you will probably notice your dog developing a shinier and healthier coat!
